Summary: A GO FOR CISCO
Review: High-Speed CISCO Networks is densely packed with the latest networking technologies, tools, plans, designs and testing methodology. John Vacca explicitly and visually explains the CISCO protocols for an IT professional and IT student to quickly comprehend and apply. While reading and working through John's book, I believe this text could be used to develop an undergraduate Computer Engineering course with applied labs for CISCO networks. Graduate students could also uses the concepts and technologies in the text for a special topics course in networking. An IT practitioner should purchase this text to enhance their ability to maintain a problem-free network environment and to quickly isolate and fix network faults.
